In July we flew in the head of our association Shifu Chang in from Taiwan, we held a fairly large seminar, later we trained with Shifu Chang privately. In Sept. Shifu David Cheng (our kungfu brother) flew all the way from Australia and two seminars were held.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Check their lineage, then see if their teaching style is a good fit for you. If you have doubts or concerns about the teacher, trust your instincts as theyre probably correct.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
i believe most people know what theyre looking for, when you find it youll know. If your promised or have the potential to earn a blackbelt in a few years, chances are your just paying for the belt. Also respect all the teachers you meet, similar to life you never know who they could turn out to be.
